PEX software is designed to support flying, non-flying and intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and special mission units.

The software employs Cloud computing and mobile technologies and is based on an agile software development method.

It helps integrate a range of functional areas of a squadron organisation and enables information sharing.

In 2016, the company was awarded a $36.5m PEX contract with a performance period of three years.

Last year, Jacobs won a contract to continue developing software to support the USAF Air Mobility and Air Combat Command aircraft fleet.
